Official Gears of War Board Game Revealed [Article Refers to EU. Hence Price & Date]

A new officially licensed board game based on the Gears of War videogame franchise is on its way to retail stores throughout Europe. Gears of War: The Board Game, designed by Corey Konieczka, is based on the first and second instalments of the phenomenally successful third-person shooter by Epic Games.

It's for those people who enjoy playing the Doom 3 board game and all those Dungeon-crawler board games that come with lots of plastic figures and scenery pieces that you can build a maze out of. A lot of these board games are kind of similar to Games Workshop's old 'Space Hulk' Game or 'TSR's Dungeon', much like Legions of Steel or Mutant Chronicles was in the 90's.

The game is not out yet but you can find out more(they have samples of the minis and cards to look at to see how it works) here:
